But wouldn't that mission have been accomplished last season...they came back from '06 and won the title in '07...

FWD is talking about the mission to repeat. They haven't accomplished that yet.

Ah, the theory makes sense then :lol
Re: Latest Manu's Post on his Website
I'm not sure it's a very good theory, but it certainly works for me.

Well, I'm rooting for your theory to be right also. A pissed off Manu in the playoffs is a definite edge in favor of the Spurs. :)

He wants to do it with the Mavs in the way. He wants to be the one to bury them in agony.

Probably. But that clip was during training camp, and it was only a couple of months after the loss. I don't know, I just think it was a bit insensitive considering how hard Manu beats himself up for that play. But whatever works for Manu is fine. If it takes an avenging attitude, then all the better for the spurs.
